Polystyrene Bottles

SKS offers two polystyrene airless pump bottle options for propellant-free dispensing. Small air holes at the base of these cosmetic bottles create a vacuum that pushes the inner plate up when dispensing. This prevents the contents from coming into contact with air or other contaminants to prolong shelf life. 30 ml and 50 ml clear AS plastic airless pump bottles feature a matte silver base and matching overcaps. The matching airless pump is made from polypropylene with an aluminum shell and sits flush with the skincare bottle.15, 30, and 50 ml clear acrylonitrile styrene airless pump bottles feature a shiny silver base and matching aluminum shell caps. The silver caps include a white polypropylene plastic airless pump and clear overcap, which helps prevent unwanted discharge during transportation or storage. Both airless pump styles have an output of 0.2 ml and could be used to store serum, cleanser, or various other skincare products.
